Hello. I've never written a blog entry before so please forgive any mistakes I make.

Today I just wanted to say how sometimes simple, handmade gifts can make a person happier than buying something in a store. Yes, I sure all of us have heard this before, and before a few minutes ago I didn't exactly belive it myself.

Sherryn, my good friend, my best friend, is moving. This means that I won't get to see or hang out with her as much. She is leaving next week and showed her thoughtfulness by making  me an early birthday gift. It consisted of three sketchbooks, two note pads, and a pencil case, but part that over joyed me was the birthday cards. Yes, the cards. They were handmade with a beautiful message and cute pictures that reminded me of all the great times we shared together. I felt like crying with happiness.

I am still mystified as to why this gift moved me so much, but the fact that that's what it did remains. I am going to miss my friend, but I will always be looking forward to the next time I can see her.

Thank you Sherryn.
